I understand the index and how to find items but I'm having trouble finding a wall prop, the curtain or drape. you can attack these to reveal the wall behind them. thanks for reading.

Grimrock Fun Fact:

Apparently the name choice is a bit off on this prop, I had people asking me what a "gobelin" is when I mentioned it in a scroll in my dungeon. As a non-native speaker I thought "Hey this must be the offical english word for a 'wall carpet'", so I used it in my scrolls. After consulting wikipedia I found out that "tapestry" must be the correct word for it:

I think it is unlikely that the tapestry in the Grimrock dungeons came from France....unless it is modded, of course ;)

Absolutely correct, in english, it is a tepestry. Never heard the term Gobelin before LoG, and cannot speculate on the origins.

It's just a famous type of wall tapestry, and the guys at AH decided to name it that

I think this one was just an unfortunate case of finglish creeping into the game. In Finnish the word is "gobeliini" which is a loanword which I think probably came to us from Germany or Sweden. So yeah, basically a mistake on our part. :)
